Whitewater kayaking is an exciting sport that involves paddling down rivers and rapids – from simple, gently moving water to demanding, challenging rapids. The sport encompasses a wide variety of disciplines, from creek boating to river running to play boating, and each offers different ways to appreciate the river. With so many approaches to choose from, there is a style of whitewater paddling for everyone. Whitewater paddling is becoming increasingly accessible to a wider population thanks to better equipment and improved designs. Gear made specifically for kids, and in a wider range of adult sizes, has also made whitewater paddling more appealing in recent years. Specified boat and gear designs have grown to meet the needs of each style of whitewater paddling. Creekboats tend to be larger volume with significant rocker, bulbous ends, and a more rounded hull. Playboats are generally shorter and smaller volume, often with a flat hull, slicey ends and sharp chines. River running boats generally utilize a blend of creekboat and playboat characteristics, aiming for a balance between stability and playability. Boats, paddles, PFDs, and helmets are designed distinctly to cater to the specific demands of paddlers on all types of whitewater. Countless accessories also exist to make paddling easier, more comfortable, and more feasible in a variety of weather conditions.

TITAN KAYAKSEXILE From extended expeditions to the steepest of creeks, the Exile does it all. Its displacement hull nose blends through continuous rocker to soft chines down the tail making the Exile wickedly fast & forgiving while still turning on a dime and boofing effortlessly. Its unique upturned nose has been designed to shed water downwards while also directing it backwards around the boat helping to punch through holes and to re-surface upward and with forward speed. Soft webbing handles are easy on the hands while metal safety-bars placed directly under each of them give paddlers the option to clip into either during an emergency. To all those rivers you’re yet to see, the Exile will take you there!

FLUID KAYAKSSPICE If you want a boat that gives you a fun ride without being temperamental, you need to add some Spice to your life. It will take care of you on unfamiliar runs and enable you to surf waves on the run that other paddlers can’t even catch. Its hull has been proven to be very loose on waves. The length of the boat combined with gradual kick rocker makes it fast, both on waves and downriver. The smooth rails will make you carve on a wave like you don’t expect from a riverrunner, and also give you precise control when manoeuvring in rapids. Apart from being a forgiving yet performing riverrunner, the Spice is also great fun on ocean waves.

The Force is a ‘’Full-On’’ river runner with a semi-displacement hull, excellent volume distribution, raised rails, rigid deck pillar and plenty of rocker. The Force can charge, boof, flare, carve, slide and re-surface with the best of them. In fact, the only limiting factor to the Force’s performance is the paddler sitting inside! Fast, safe and responsive, the Force is everything you’ll need from a ‘proper’ River Runner.

WAVESPORT DIESEL 60 / 70 / 80 They’ve called it the 4x4 of kayaks. Runs rapids like a fast creekboat with a hull that will also spin on green waves. It is, indeed, all that and more. Peaked deck for resurfacing - check. A honed combination of planing hull and continuous rocker for ultimate agility - check. Outfitting that will let Sasquatch fit in a kayak – big, hairy – check. Meet the SUV of river running. Available now with the new core whiteout outfitting.

LIQUIDLOGIC KAYAKS REMIX 69 Developed with the help of some of the most accomplished instructional programs in the country, the Remix series paddles smooth and rolls easily. The perfect combination of speed and maneuverability, the Remix will make your time on the river a safe and fun experience.

OFFERING A BIT MORE VOLUME AND STABILITY THAN A FREESTYLE BOAT,

WHILE STILL ALLOWING THE PADDLER TO THROW BIG TRICKS.

PYRANHA VARUNNEW SPECIFICATION - Now available in Rapid spec for intermediate and progressing paddlers to learn basic freestyle moves and run the river with confidence. Surf smaller river features with ease. Easy to initiate vertical moves, perfect for freestyle beginners. Rocker gives a good compromise between speed and lift, ideal for big volume rivers where a play/speed compromise is needed. Sizes S, M, L

PYRANHA LOKI3 SIZES NOW AVAILABLE. Its low volume design surfs, squirts, and is precise and manoeuvrable for assertive river play. The Loki is loose and fast on river and ocean waves, vertical moves will be more controlled and more impressive than in a short boat, and the Loki is great down river. Extra length means more speed making eddies and must-make ferry glides easier and more controlled. Sizes S, M, L

BIG DOG KAYAKS FLUXOne for those who feel their paddling style is in a state of ‘’Flux”, wanting a true River Runner but not wanting to relinquish all playful antics. The Flux retains the key playboat design feature, a full planing hull, whilst incorporating River Running levels of volume, a water shedding foredeck and more forgiving rails. This combination of features makes a kayak comfortable and forgiving for running rivers but one that can still make dynamic use of play-waves and holes on the run down. The Flux makes no pretence to being a freestyle kayak but it is certainly at the more playful end of River Runners. The Flux is where Playboats and River Runners meet head on.

ROBSON VOLLKORNThe Best for Freestyle competition! The perfect combination of performance and ease of use. The hull design lets you hold your line in surf, plus a high front takes to moves and air effortlessly. Maneuverable, so set up is quick and easy. Large cockpit makes for a smooth entry and exit. Made in Germany

BIG DOG KAYAKS KAOS GEN 2The Kaos Gen 2 incorporates some unique design features that are really making it stand out from the crowd. Added pop for bigger aerial moves and reduced length for more dynamic maneuvers, this was only the start. We have added a slight ‘V’ in the hull giving faster edge-to-edge transitions, softer rails front and back for more forgiving rides. The Kaos Gen 2 is also incorporating a revolutionary rail design. Throughout the whole design process we wanted to keep the Kaos features; place them side by side and the Gen 2 is the original Kaos little brother, which is still available in plastic.

EXO XGThe new freestyle kayak Exo XG guarantees fun and thrilling performances, while also keeping your safety foremost. Features include thigh-braces, ergonomic seat, adjustable foam footrest kit and backrest adjustable by cleats. Available in single or double skin-hull.

Some of these features include... * Rocker that utilizes the extra speed gained by a Carbon/Kevlar Hull. * Secondary nose and tail rails for sharper edge to edge transitions, carves and bounces to make full use of your boats 8kg weight. * Seamless 1-piece construction to give unparalleled strength and stiffness.

LIQUIDLOGICREMIX XP9 It is often said that there is gap in kayak design, that no “one” kayak excels in whitewater yet carries speed across flat calm lakes and slow moving rivers… that is until now. The Remix XP was designed to bridge the gap between the two once and for all. It is an extension of our popular river runner series and although its roots are firmly planted in whitewater, the XP’s extended waterline allows it to cruise the flats with ease. The XP has an integral skeg which when deployed offers superb tracking; but with the skeg tucked away the boat offers the agility needed to excel on whitewater. Finally, the dry storage compartment can easily hold a weeks worth of camping gear.

FLUID KAYAKS ELEMENT The Element is a surf kayak. A pretty unique one, actually. The Element is at the forefront of an exciting new development in the kayaking scene. Imagine higher speed and better carve than you will ever experience in your playboat. Imagine using that high speed and hard carve to throw bigger and faster freestyle wave moves than you ever did before. That’s what the Element is all about. The Element is shorter than a traditional surf kayak, giving up a little bit of speed but gaining a lot of extra maneuverability. Super quick directional changes is the name of the game. The shorter length is also key in making big freestyle moves possible.

BIG DOG KAYAKS KARMA The Karma is a thoroughly modern squirt boat. While designed to save the squirt scene for the new generation of squirt paddlers, the Karma is also oozing traditional soul from its seam lines with smooth clean lines to evoke the passions of the long lost Squirt paddlers. Success for the Karma was always dreamed of, but within the first year the Karma has gone worldwide, being sold all around the globe. Combine this with our strong background in composite boat building, you can be sure the Karma will be built to the best specs possible.

GALASPORT, S.R.O.MANIC MCQThe Manic is an impressive blade for white water paddling that was inspired by the famous slalom blade Naja. Its profile provides a powerful stroke that’s required for fast power transfer to the movement of the boat. Kayakers can paddle even harder rivers thanks to this feature. All the parameters of a slalom blade are supported by extremely strong construction that provides high firmness and resistance to the blade breaking. Instead of the classic alloy edge we used material that’s even more suitable to resisting abrasion. We have used MCQ technology to achieve still better paddle properties.
